To Health With That! MTHFR Mutations.
Latest Episodes
S2E42: PEMT, Every Cell In Your Body, and MTHFR
If I had to pick one mutation that was AS pivotal as MTHFR is, it would be PEMT. This mutation affects literally EVERY cell in your body - all 37.2 trillion of them. We'll talk about: The one well studied polymorphism (and the legions of other ones) Si
S2E41: MAO-A Fast and the Carbohydrate Rollercoaster
This week we'll talk about another gene SNP picture that is called MAO-A Fast. Having a fast MAO-A means you break down neurotransmitters faster than average, and since this gene SNP breaks down Serotonin, Melatonin, Norepinephrine, and Epinephrine you ca
S2E40: MAO-A Slow And The Short Fuse
MAO-A is another gene SNP that is different from the others we've talked about because it is actually linked to a sex chromosome. The various SNPs add up to produce a "fast" or "slow" picture. We'll discuss: Why we can't tell women's MAO-A picture from
S2E39: Vitamin D, VDR, and MTHFR.
Vitamin D doesn't link into the methylation cycle, the folate cycle, or even the BH4 pathway so it seems highly unrelated to MTHFR, but is that true? This week we'll explore: Why vitamin D seems to do literally everything in the research The gene SNPs tha
S2E38: Is Low Histamine Actually a Problem?
Low histamine isn't something that doctors are talking about yet. It hasn't even really made it to the internet, which is usually first to know everything. But I think there might be more to low histamine states than meets the eye, so let's talk about it.
S2E37: High Histamine, MTHFR, and other Gene SNPs.
Histamine and MTHFR are joined together in so many ways. Let's talk about: The surprising things other than allergies that histamine influences. Risks and symptoms of high histamine Seven things you can do to lower your histamine naturally. For the
Arsenic, Mercury, and Fibromyalgia. Questions from Listeners.
I love listener questions because it's always something good! This week, we talk about: Detoxifying Arsenic Mercury toxicity with adrenal fatigue and MTHFR Amy's quick and dirty about fibromyalgia. If you're looking for this week's show notes, they'
S2E35: Nitric Oxide, MTHFR, and the NOS3 gene SNP.
MTHFR is closely tied to heart disease, and nitric oxide (not to be confused with nitrous oxide, or laughing gas) is a big part of the reason why. In this episode we'll talk about: How nitric oxide is linked to heart attacks, strokes, alzheimers, sinus
S2E34: B12, MTR, and MTRR
Of course B12 is important to methylation and MTHFR, but why is that precisely? Well, spoiler alert - it has something to do with two different genes that are also involved in the methionine pathway - MTR and MTRR. So this week, let's talk about: Which
S2E33: GST and GPX - Two Gene SNPs That Mess With Glutathione
We've talked about glutathione before, but now let's talk about two gene SNPs that really mess with your glutathione functioning. We'll discuss: Signs and symptoms of a GST polymorphism Signs and symptoms of a GPX polymoprhism Which SNP is linked to
